The two schools I would like to take the time to compare are very similar, yet vastly different. These schools are the Church school and the Christian school. I have personally have been in both types of schools. I attended the North Platte Baptist School for most of my schooling. I went to the Shenandoah Baptist Academy for one year out of my education. North Platte Baptist School is a church school and Shenandoah Baptist Academy is a Christian school. Many people would think there is no huge difference between these two schools, but there are many. I would like to start out by noting a few key points about the two schools for a better understanding. Shenandoah Baptist Academy was the Christian school I attended when I was at the girl’s home.

After attending both schools, I can testify from experience, that there are more differences than there are similarities. For example, one school is a closed enrollment church school and the other is a limited enrollment Christian school. Even though both Shenandoah Baptist Academy and North Platte Baptist School are under a Baptist church, they are at two completely opposite ends of the spectrum.
So, let’s go ahead and take a deeper look at these vast differences. I think one of the most crucial differences is that of priorities. Shenandoah is a school that had many priorities. They were very concerned with the outlook of the school. I would say this was their main priority. In contrast, North Platte Baptist School has a different priority. I would say the main focus of North Platte Baptist School is not only to help the students excel in their work, but also to reign supreme in their spiritual lives. Consequently, there are many side effects of just this one …show more content…
For instance, out of all the students I went to school with at Shenandoah, I would not be able to tell you five of them that are truly serving God today. Not even half of them ended up going to a Bible college. Moreover, out of all the students I went to school with at North Platte Baptist School, most of them are serving God and have attended Bible College. It is important to keep your priorities in line with God’s Word.
The last distinction we will look at is that of standards. More specifically, dress standards. At Shenandoah, it was a requirement for all of the students to wear a uniform. There was nothing wrong with the uniforms; they were decent and modest. However, the issue was the reason behind getting the uniforms. The school did not institute uniforms just because they wanted to; they did because they had to. They had many dress issues with some of the students, and rather than fixing the problem they just avoided it with having the students wear uniforms. Never evade the issue by not teaching proper
